Capcom announces Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition for Steam

Heralded as one of the best Resident Evil games ever made, Resident Evil 4 has already appeared on a bunch of platforms, however it never graced the PC platform. That's all about to change.

According to Capcom, Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition is coming soon to Steam, and bringing along with a host of changes and upgrades to make it the definitive version of the game thus far.

Resident Evil 4 will include Steam platform support with Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, Steam Trading Cards, global leaderboards, and full game controller support. The new PC version will include everything from the prior iterations including subtitle support in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Japanese as well as previously released bonus content such as the Separate Ways epilogue.

To complement the exciting new direction, the game introduced a modernized control scheme, rear third person view and gameplay mechanics which have blazed the trail for subsequent action titles.

The game will run at 60 FPS, which honestly shouldn't surprise PC gamers at this point.

You can check out the game's Steam page here as well as pre-order it to get a bonus digital soundtrack as well as a digital artbook. The game is set to come out February 28th.

(Note: The Steam page doesn't seem to be live yet, but should be updated to go live later today)
